I read the chapter, and I do feel mixed about the explanation sukuna gave and what it means to the protagonists and certain other things... but, one thing I do like is that from the moment before his death is that he finally was able to be himself, not the strongest. Him being killed by someone stronger removed that concept that applied to him, caused his loneliness and own identity crisis (Geto's question), and the line people had drawn between him and themselves is why he also used Jujutsu as a way to satisfy himself in that Strongest role. At that point, he spoke in that scene from a place of humility, one thing he hasn't felt in years, if ever.
Nanami mentioned where to go if you want to return to the way you are, you go south and if you wish to make yourself anew, go north. He might go south to return to his blue spring, but it's also likely he could go north at this in the crossroads of the afterlife because this is new to him - that he is not the strongest, but he just a human named Satoru Gojo and he died, surrounded by people he loved and with no regrets.
#also probably hearing sukuna complement him before dying is what also caused the smile too#even though in the physical world he died alone i do think it was nice in that space he was surrounded by people he loved#and probably believes his students got this truly#it sucks he wouldnt be able to see it though#and the explanation on how and why just not good#but reading his send and thinking about it more and more... it was nice#pacing and structure issues aside#yeah i did feel something from that I'll take back whatever i said as far as that#but also idk if this is more me overanalyzing than gege's writing lmao#jjk#jjk spoilers#satoru gojo#jujutsu kaisen#now time to go watch him get sealed yay#he had some regrets possibly with the megumi mention but he mentioned he told shoko#which tells me i think he went into this either winning and saving megumi#or wanting to die and finally be at peace that he can finally consider himself a human#it hits harder after watching the episode because they referred to him as a monster or that thing a lot too#and it fucked with him that no one understood him but he sought that with sukuna#kinda fucked though that part of him let this happened the way it did#it's pretty selfish to let them go after he was unsealed and had a better chance to win but it all comes back to post#and that's just who he is#and also he wanted megumi to live over himself i'd think
